Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
In sales. The PS4 is just as powerful, cheaper and has more games (and is backward compatible). Add all the angst and anger generated in the gaming community by the release of the Xbox One and you have the makings of a major revolt against MS here. Too bad because I still think Sony is more evil than MS.Originally Posted by blacklabel

No. PS4 is NOT backwards compatible.
This is correct. Both platforms will have a limited selection of the older games available for download, but both systems architecture is far too different from their predecessor to do hardware emulation. I bet we see 30-40 of the most popular titles released before it is killed off. Software emulation or completely re-writing the code of the game(essentially it would be porting it to the new systems) is very hard to do, so it won't be worth it for them to do it on a large scale.
I am really sad for the lose of the Xbox Family feature, as I think that would have been the best thing to happen to a game console ever. We also lost the ability to have a disc-less system while maintaining the ability to have a physical backup. Both of those features outweighed the downside of the security features to me. I think it's funny because a few years ago one of the things people most wanted was a physical media free console, then those same people complain when they put in security measures to prevent people from exploiting it. People just want to have their cake and eat it too.
Ah, well that sucks. I still think the PS4 is going to outsell the Xbox One by a large margin.

Perhaps at first. Just hope Sony's learned from their previous venture in not making enough to sell! http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=211
